Not sure how to put this...it's one of those things you either "get" or you don't... You see, there is a difference between actually participating and just going through the motions and

IMHO, you don't Listen to what Erik, Mike, and others tell you. If you did, and you actually Practiced the advice that's been given to you, you wouldn't have all these questions, and not one person wo

Ok what is the point?

The point is that you are not contributing anywhere else on the site, you are just looking for free instruction. That's not the way it works, you have to give back to the community even if it's just with joking around in the Grill Room. It's poor form when the only place you post is in your My Swing thread.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Don't let the old geezers get to you. I'm a long drive competitor on the LDA, so I work the ball a lot. The one thing I see that would help you is to swing more towards "first base" this will help you from coming over the top. When I'm working on drawing the ball I really try to release the club by feeling like I'm swinging towards first base and getting my forearms to touch after contact this really helps release the club from the inside

Ok I see now thanks

No problem.

Another tip: always quote the post you are replying to, it makes things easier to follow. In this case I knew you were replying to my post but it's not always that obvious.

Welcome to the Trap.

Why would a LD competitor need to work the ball?

Conditions change a ton during competitions if you are trying to hit a high launched fade swinging at 140 + mph into a left to right wind... You are going to miss the grid or spin out everytime. Working the ball is huge in what we do.

I didn't know that. I just assumed it was "swing for the fences" and hope it stays in the grid. :-P

How wide is the grid?

You have a "good player bad backswing" in that you don't really turn much. It's sometimes odd how many good (but rarely great) players do this.
